Water Filter
Steven Harper:
I have a 2008 Beaver Contessa. I have a shurflu water filter. I am changing the water filter for the first time. I bought one at Lowe's that is practically identical to the one that was in previously. But, when I reconnect everything a turn the water on water comes out of the water filter unit. If I put the other filter that was in there before it works fine. Has anyone used a water filter other than one from Shurflo and have it work OK?
Bill Sprague:
Assuming you are using the standard 10" type filter system, there should be an "O" ring that sits in the case to seal the cap. Could you be putting a kink in the "O" ring or leaving it out?
Joel Ashley:
Which leads to the notion that the original "O" ring from the Shur-flo is remaining in the case while you're trying to put the new filter in place with its ring also?
2 "O" rings does not a seal make.
Steven Harper:
I did double check and the O ring was in place. It is a 10" filter. So basically, any 10" filter should work. Is that correct?
Steven Harper:
OK I goofed. The dimensions on my new filter is 9 7/8" by 2 5/8". The shurflo filter at camping world measures 10" X 2 1/2". Does the variation in size make a difference????
